The general daily saw palmetto dosage ranges from 160–320 milligrams. This depends on your health condition, and it should be decided with the guidance of your health care provider.
When using saw palmetto to treat BPH, the recommended dose is starting with 320 milligrams daily for four months. Some doctors may recommend a higher dosage of 320 milligrams three times a day and then dropping down to 320 milligrams once a day after a four-month treatment period.
For treating early stages of BPH, take 160 milligrams twice a day.
For future prostate surgery (called transurethral resection of the prostate), take 320 milligrams daily for two months before scheduled surgery.
For the treatment of bald spots, take 200 milligrams twice daily, combined with 50 milligrams of beta-sitosterol twice daily.
You can drink saw palmetto tea, but keep in mind that the fatty acids, its most active ingredient, are not soluble in water and won’t be as effective as capsules. *
